srydzews@ix.netcom.com  asks: << ...One question, though, what is the "HS" 
rating? >>

Stan,  HS refers to hits stopped.  I'm using these figures as the inherent 
toughness of a giant's hide, which basically includes the relative equivalent 
of WARRIOR and/or VETERAN.  Since the strength bonuses giants receive allow 
them to waive most armor penaties, a giant equipped with a tower shield and 
armor in addition to his own toughened skin becomes quite formidable, even if 
he wont get a chance to hit much at DX 9 or 10.

mbrewer@psphalifax.ns.ca  then says: << I like some of my giants more 
intelligent and a bit kinder than you've described as befits the more 
sociable of the giants that players can run as characters. >>

Mack,  I'm pretty much thinking of them as monsters or as NPCs.  Obviously if 
you wanted to play one as a PC, you want to go into some more detail, and 
modify the rules for that particular campaign, so as to allow for a more 
playable character.  

As for the Fog and Mountain Giants found in the Fiend Folio, I'm afraid we 
never got that far, but I'm sure they could be included as well.  

Thanks for the kind words.  I'll pass on some more of the stuff we've used 
soon.  Play continues on the Wizardwall Tuesday night.
